    Did my first day and really enjoyed it, met the executive director and mentioned I'd like to learn to work with the live exhibits, so he set up a training class for next Monday... I get to work with the sharks and turtles, and... Yay!

    It's a tiny little facility, but the displays are top notch, I imagine I'll learn a lot. And it's great getting out of the house and meeting new people.

    Sounds like fun Pax! May the current crappy knee relent, but until then I'm glad you've found this nice gig that is both interesting and you get to network!
